over before wiping the inside surface of the
oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
• Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass
while cleaning the oven cavity.

A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minute
cycle. Press Upper CLEAR / OFF or Lower
CLEAR / OFF to end the EasyClean mode and
the tone.

After the cleaning cycle and during hand-
cleaning, enough water should remain on the
oven bottom to completely submerge all soils.
Add water if necessary. Place a towel on the
floor in front of the oven to capture any water
that may spill out during hand-cleaning.
11
Clean the oven cavity immediately after the
EasyClean cycle by scrubbing with a wet, non-
scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The scouring
side will not scratch the finish.) Some water
may spill into the bottom vents while
cleaning, but it will be captured in a pan under
the oven cavity and will not hurt the burner.
NOTE
• Do not use any steel scouring pads, abrasive
pads or cleaners as these materials can
permanently damage the oven surface.
12
Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any
excess water with a clean dry towel. Replace
racks and any other accessories.
13
If some light soils remain, repeat the above
steps, making sure to thoroughly soak the
soiled areas.
• If stubborn soils remain after multiple
EasyClean cycles, run the Self Clean cycle.
Be sure that the oven cavity is empty of
oven racks and other accessories, and that
the oven cavity surface is dry before
running the Self Clean cycle. Consult the
Self Clean section of your owner's manual
for further details.
NOTE
• The cavity gasket may be wet when the
EasyClean cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not
clean the gasket.
• If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom
after cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in
vinegar to remove them.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the
EasyClean cycle.
• Using commercial oven cleaners or bleach to
clean the oven is not recommended. Instead,
use a mild liquid cleanser with a pH value below
12.7 to avoid discoloring the enamel.

Self Clean

The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot
temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While
running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice
smoking or an odor. This is normal, especially if
the oven is heavily soiled. During Self Clean, the
kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the
odors from cleaning.
Before Starting Self Clean
• Clean only parts listed in manual. Remove the
water tank, oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid,
all cookware, aluminum foil or any other
material from the oven.
- If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during
the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and
become difficult to slide in and out.
- If you don't remove the water tank from the
oven, a beep sounds and the Self Clean cycle
does not start.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to
minimize the odors from cleaning. Open a
window or turn on a ventilation fan or hood
before self-cleaning.
• Wipe off any heavy spillovers on the bottom of
the oven.
• Make sure that the oven light cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot
soapy water. Rinse well.
